Trade Talk. Cap Gymnastics. A Surprise Phone Call. A Short-Handed Scrimmage. It's All Part Of 'The Anatomy Of A Day In The Mavs' Trade-Deadline Life.' The first soon-to-be-public domino topples innocuously enough, with Dallas Mavericks rookie center AJ Hammons showing up for work in Frisco, expecting to be a starter for Wednesday nights D-League game between the Mavs affiliate the Texas Legends vs. the LA D-Fenders. At 3:36, I receive a text. Hammons is being recalled by the Mavs today. And right about at this time, Legends coach Bob MacKinnon contacts Hammons. Youre going downtown, MacKinnon tells the kid. I ask a Mavs staffer if Hammons hurry-up drive south down the Tollway (a move made official at 3:49) had anything to do with the possibility of a trade-deadline-centered Dallas roster shuffle. You could surmise that, yes, he tells me. And then comes a Mavs practice. (It is suggested to me that the workout is largely a scrimmage, and that coach Rick Carlisle will supervise another scrimmage on Thursday as the team comes back from its All-Star Break and preps for a Friday game at Minnesota and a Saturday AAC meeting with Boogie Cousins Pelicans). And it is a Mavs practice … Continue reading →

Brandon Grubl was frustrated when his friends from the Porter County Conference spoke with him on March 5, 2011. The slight was used as fuel before he boarded a bus in route to a very big stage. His basketball buddies told him what almost everyone in the Region and the state of Indiana had already concluded. Grubl's Morgan Township team had no chance in its sectional championship game at Bowman Academy. "All my friends said they were going to the Merrillville-Valpo game instead," Grubl remembered on Wednesday night. "Nobody believed in us." In 2009, Bowman beat the Cherokees 82-66 to win the championship. In 2010 it was 98-70, as the Eagles cut down the nets and went on to win the Class A state championship. Morgan coach Matt Bush gathered his underdogs in the hallway and said one thing to his team. "If you don't think we have a shot in this game, then walk out now." Grubl went out and scored 22 points as his Cherokees shocked Bowman 53-49, in one of the Region's biggest sectional upsets. Considering that the Eagles returned to state championship games the following three Marches is proof of this David vs. Goliath tale. "A … Continue reading →

Hugh Jackman and James Mangolds Logan is about to make its debut in theaters, and with early reviews in, this sounds like the Wolverine stand-alone movie fans have been clamouring for. Wolverine is a beloved comic book character and has been taken to new heights with Jackmans performances spanning multiple X-Men and stand-alone movies. But hes also an anti-hero, which makes his rise to fame that much more interesting. What is it about Wolverine, and anti-heroes in general, that make them so endearing? Investigating this question, there are specific qualities anti-heroes have that not only make them anti-heroes but also warms them up to the hearts of fans the world over. Heres a look at the anatomy of an anti-hero as found in comic books, movies and television shows. Most anti-heroes begin their heros journey on the peripheries of society. Starting with Wolverine, he begins Bryan Singers X-Men movie making a living fighting inside a steel cage in a seedy Alberta bar. Its only until he meets Rouge that he leaves that life as an outcast and moves toward a life a part of the collective, or in Logans case, as a card carrying member of the X-Men. Keeping with … Continue reading →
